Menu Plan Monday, Simple Dinner Meal Plan
This week I’m keeping our dinner simple. I’m making a dish I haven’t made in a while Spring Vegetables with Couscous and Chicken.
I’ll be using the peas from our garden in the dish. It is such an easy dish to make with cooked chicken from the freezer and veggies from the garden. The recipe is the perfect springtime meal.
My son requested hamburgers again. They are on the menu and I’m thankful I prepped hamburger patties for the freezer, which makes it so easy to make hamburgers for dinner.
The homemade patties are so much better than the preformed ones from the store.
We will also be having a favorite vegetarian dish, southern fried tofu. I always freeze the tofu ahead of time and then thaw it the night before.
It makes the texture of the tofu, a little more chewy and meat like.
I wasn’t sure my son would eat it, but he thinks its chicken nuggets and I don’t tell him any different. 🙂

Oh my. I just love homemade Belgian waffles..anytime of the day.
I’m impressed that your son thinks the tofu is chicken nuggets! I wouldn’t tell him, either. I’m still working on my menu plan for the week, but think it will involve a pan of enchilada casserole, some salads and leftovers. It’s my husband’s last week of school for the year so it will involve some late school nights for him. Oh, and may I just say, your food pictures are always lovely, Shelly!
Thanks Kristen!
We just had hamburgers today for my son’s birthday meal. 🙂 We’ll be having leftovers and pasta tomorrow.
Your menu looks yummy, Shelly!
I’m always happy when there are leftovers to eat. Happy Birthday to your son!
Yum, everything sounds so good on your menu this week! How nice that you can already use some veggies that were grown in your garden 🙂
I harvested enough sugar snap peas yesterday, we shared some with the neighbors. I also harvested two head of lettuce, it was so good in our salad last night.
